Pictures

Today I decided to pick up here and there in the house and actually do some yard cleaning again.. the more I leave things alone.. the weeds are growing.. again..

This morning, while everyone was out getting breakfast I decided to grab a few more Z's while I had the chance. Well, I guess my teddy bear eyes made a run for it. While we were eating it started to rain again. O'hubby went to go get him.. and he was gone. Dang Dawg..he was up the street leaving business cards. We drove over to get him.. and Grandson helped walk him home. You could hear Grandson giving O'Z-man a 'talking to' all the way home. Ahmm.. all this time while I was sleeping he was gone.. Hubby thought I had brought him back in.. I was like.. "Fool, ja no I don't do nuttin...". I hate his disapproval looks sometimes, but I just think... well, if you still cherished me like you did when we got married.. I'd still be on top of things.. You wanna eyeball someone else? Well, too bad..

One day, I got so sick of picking up trash off the counter, and putting them where they belong.. I just started putting trash everywhere.. and I didn't fold laundry.. I just left things the way they were.. and added to it.. I didn't do the dishes.. I mean sometimes they sat there for days.. Phsh! I wasn't gonna clean it... Now, I was a neat freak, and organized.. now in the man's world.. if you are like this.. You are a BITCH. No way around it... SO, I UN-bitched myself, and went on wife-stike.. and became careless.. I don't giva shit person.. well, he whined and whined.. and the dawgs were unhappy too. See? Can't win.. In truth.. I so much wanted to clean, it drove me nuts.. I am told myself to stop it and clean up.. BUT I had a point to teach my hubby about calling me names.. and thought it's my duty.. Well, hell I am a person.. not a fukken robot!!

Gradually I am taking a room at a time to clean and so I don't feel crappy and just get a House Cleaner to come clean.. Sometime I feel so inadequate well.. I should say LAZY.. Really I don't do a dang thing here.. I just do whatever I want. Well, I take that back.. my 'job' is the job I love the most.. raising my Grandson. In reality he is a special needs child.. but that's so BAahh.. He is an exceptional child in my eyes.. a little speech problem and gazillion more surgeries for his cleft palate.. SO? So what? In due time.. he is going to normal I will have to chase the girls away with my cane.

Didja know.. you suppose to rotate your fans according to the HEAT and COOl of the weather? I think it was change your fans upward in the winter so the hot air can go up. and fans down during the warm days so your cooler can circulate down not in the ceiling? Well, doh.. it was something like that.. I just picked which side I liked and left it like that.. yah leave it to me now.. we knows how smart I can be.. and another thing.. JUICE and FRUITS.. not good for a child to have all the time. Back to milk and water, and juice on weekend only..

Yesterday, I spent my day figuring out how to use my incident/reflect light meter. I'm not good at "instruction reading" or "Picture looking".. So, I just thumb it around and pretend I'm reading the instructions again to understand it. *doh* So today.. I tried again.. Somethings I haven't learned yet.. or have gotten that far yet in the books..

These are from this morning.. I did do a 'touch up' in Photostudio on the reflection of the hoop.. and it lightened the photo.. I rather it be darker.. it matched the gloomy day we're having. And of course, the sprinkle, drizzle of rain.. The lady bug.. she be just hangin out.. Chill Girl..



I made my seconds to take pictures of the apple and oranges and used my light meter.. I liked the choices the light meter made for me.. so here is the exposure on that. The other is a small twig, so small that the Macro Lens was having trouble bringing it in.. it makes it disappear in the lens.. weird.. I even tried to manual focus it.. and it looked like it didn't even exist right in front of the lens.. I guess I just need to read up on that too. Or just get lower Macro..

I hope I uploaded the right picture here. One second before the rain hit I took picture of this calm puddle.. and next the rain poured.. and it the picture looked like it had bubbles.. I liked it..
